I won't bore you with a long story, just keep it short. But I need some help here. My fiance and I are in the middle of the K-1 visa process as many of you are experiencing. We are currently inbetween P-3 and P-4, waiting for Amy's appointment letter, which we expect later this summer or fall. As our luck would have it, during this waiting period Amy began experiencing abdominal pains which eventually was diagnosed as cervical cancer. It appears to be in a late stage but has not spread to other parts of her body yet. She's undergone a 96 hour chemotherapy and is presently resting at home in Baoding for a few weeks until she has to return for more chemo. I've sent her some calcium and other antioxidants and alkaline minerals but they haven't arrived yet. Of course, now the big question Amy and I have is, will the fact that's she's come down with this damned disease be grounds for refusal of the visa? What will happen at her medical exam? Cancer is not a communicable disease nor certainly a "disorder associated with harmful behavior." But is it enough to keep her out of the US? You can imagine our stress levels at this time. I want to get her here in the States as soon as possible so she can get better treatment. WILL AMY GET HER VISA? Will she be ok? Will she be able to have our kids? We were planning a family... Any ideas? What can we do? First thing's first: save Amy's life. Second: get her that precious visa. I'm new to this site. Sorry my first posting on the board couldn't have been of a lighter nature.
